Well I hesitate to say it or jinx it but LM was in a much better mood yesterday. When he woke up from his nap he just called for daddy and last night he didn't get up once. When I woke up around 5 I went to peek on him, I Was worried I hadn't heard anything. He was sound asleep. I think he did sleep better on his own mattress. Dh also took off the bed sheets/blankets - thought they were weird for him. But it is starting to get cooler so it will be blanket time soon enough. Just doesn't like it all tucked in at the bottom I guess.

Or maybe he will be a terror. In prior months when he wasn't sleeping well I wondered if moving him would help - to the big bed. Who knows. Time will tell. So far he has been sleeping better than in his crib, in a way.

Another important thing... Dh moved some toys into his room and he got SO excited. We have a few toys in BM's room, but they mostly play downstairs. So dh made a big deal that as a big boy he gets toys in his room too and I think that is a lot of what calmed him down yesterday. He was SO excited. We also just weaned him off the bottle so I realize maybe it's all just a bit much for him right now.

Dh and I will have a fight today about what toys to move. I want to move some big stuff upstairs; he doesn't. He put some small cars in his room (choking hazards). I said, why do you think all the big chunky baby toys are in BM's room? Because we moved them in there when he was 2 - still need to baby proof even if he usually doesn't put stuff in his mouth. Gah. Well, we'll duke it out today.

Anyway, with the changing weather should also go through the clothes; see where we stand. Probably need to buy shoes and warm pajams for BM this weekend - a start. & dig out the bins of BM's old stuff for LM. Will probably get him new shoes too though.

Oh I listed a few things on Craigslist and Freecycle. So we'll see. I have some bags for Goodwill so maybe will pack them in dh's car and send him next week. Will be nice to make way through all this stuff.

Last week I was motivated and set out a pile of stuff for ebay, but haven't gotten to it yet. Maybe I will make progress this weekend.

I also decided I will paint LM's room while they fam is in Florida. Maybe BM's too. Don't want to be too ambitious, and it will be busy at work. But best time to be done really. We painted the lower 1/2 of the wall brown and put up a border, but he's ripped a lot of it off and we just need to start over...

P.S. I worked 3 hours today moving offices. Will be around $75 after tax. Probably get in December. My running overtime balance is in the $350 range. Whenever I get it, it will be sweet...
